BookletEvaluation of the project "Support to Agriculture and Agribusiness Enterprises in Mindanao for Sustainable Development"
Project code: GCP/PHI/069/ROK
2025Also available in:
No results found.This evaluation report provides a comprehensive assessment of the "Support for Agriculture and Agribusiness Enterprises in Mindanao for Sustainable Development" project, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) with funding from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). The project aimed to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability in Mindanao by supporting small farmers, marginal fishers, and Indigenous populations. The evaluation assessed the project's relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, gender, and social inclusion.Key findings indicate that the project has increased agricultural productivity and income, enhanced market access, and successfully combined Indigenous Peoples' farming knowledge with modern technologies. The project aligns with FAO and KOICA's strategic objectives, enhancing agricultural productivity, promoting environmentally friendly practices, and modernizing agriculture.The project has made progress in providing economic opportunities for women in some areas. However, the evaluation notes the need to increase women's access to various jobs and organizational roles.Although global disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the project's efficiency and resulted in procurement delays, adaptive strategies and donor flexibility helped mitigate some financial strains. The evaluation suggests that some actions would be needed for future similar projects to make a bigger impact. These include streamlining procurement processes, strengthening gender-focused interventions, documenting and scaling successful business models, and ensuring long-term sustainability through policy support at local level and search for more collaborative funding. -
BookletStrategic Programme for Agriculture, Fisheries and Agribusiness Development in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (SPAFAD-BARMM) 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The Strategic Programme for Agriculture, Fisheries and Agribusiness Development in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (SPAFAD-BARMM) lays out the priorities for technical cooperation between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the BARMM regional government from 2020 to 2022. The BARMM, created through the enactment of the Bangsamoro Organic Law, or Republic Act No. 11054, in July 2018 replaced the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). BARMM comprises the provinces of Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi; the cities of Marawi, Lamitan and Cotabato; and the 63 barangays of North Cotabato. The overarching goal of FAO’s SPAFAD-BARMM is to uplift the well-being of the Bangsamoro people by improving their food security and nutrition, and bring about rural progress in the Bangsamoro Region through the development of resilient agriculture- and fisheries-based livelihoods and enterprises, institutionalization of risk-informed shock responsive social protection, and equitable and sustainable use and management of natural resources. -

No results found.he FAO Expert Consultation on Strategies for Sustainable Animal Agriculture in Developing Countries was held at the FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 10 to 14 December 1990.Animal agriculture is a complex, multi-component, interactive process that is dependant on land, human resources and capital investment. Throughout the developing world it is practised in many different forms, in different environments and with differing degrees of intensity and biological efficiency. As a result any meaningful discussion of the subject must draw on a broad spectrum of the biological and earth sciences as well as the social, economic and political dimensions that bear so heavily on the advancement of animal agriculture. There is a growing consensus among politicians, planners and scientists alike that livestock production in the third world is not developing as it should, or at a sufficient pace to meet the high quality protein needs of a rapidly expanding human population. The sobering reality is, despite the many development projects implemented over the years by national, bilateral and multinational agencies and often substantial capital investment, there has been little or no change in the efficiency of animal production in the developing world. Livestock numbers have increased substantially in many countries and while the growth in output is welcome, it does not necessarily equate with sustainable productive growth. On the contrary it can, as it has done in the drought prone arid regions, lead to a lowering of productivity and degradation of the rangelands.The purpose of the Expert Consultation was to discuss and formulate specific criteria and questions relating to the planning and implementation of sustainable livestock production programmes in the developing world. There is increasing concern regarding the conservation of the natural resource base and protection of the global environment and FAO attaches highest priority to the sustainable development of plant and animal agriculture. This Expert Consultation is one of a number of initiatives being undertaken by FAO to ensure the sustainability of it's agricultural development programme. The discussion and recommendations arising from this Expert Consultation have been used to help to focus and guide global, regional and national policies and action programmes on the sustainable development of agriculture and have provided an important contribution to the FAO/Government of the Netherlands International Conference on Agriculture and the Environment held in the hague, 15–19 April, 1991.
